Crystal
Park's Swarovski 5301 faceted bicones are being replaced with the new
XILION cut, which increases the number of reflective surfaces on the
familiar bicone shape with alternating small and large facets. Now known
as the 5328 XILION cut bicone, the new cut has a higher brilliance is
more comfortable to wear, and is sure to be a wonderful addition to your
beaded designs.
Swarovski
Crystal Bicone Beads with the XILION cut will be phased in at Crystal
Park as they become available from Swarovski and as our stock is
replenished.
The
profile and dimensions of the XILION-cut Crystal Bicone Beads remain
unchanged, they are therefore compatible with traditional 5301
Crystal Bicone Beads. You should feel comfortable using both crystal
bicone bead styles together in the same jewellery design.
